Really depends on your playstyle. Do you want to be a tank and just soak damage? Get a good EE armor, +life/str/dex gear, and add all your points to VIT. you wont be doing much damage this way, but you can sit and tank for your party.
Or if you prefer a more solo approach, you can add the first 10 to VIT (recommended) and then start adding to str. pick up a good EE axe, similar armor and a charm with dex. this allows you to deal far greater damage, at the cost of less hit points.
the path is up to you, good luck!
